More dances have switched to "Larks / Ravens", so here's an updated version of the chart I made before:
| ~312 series, ~130 weekends | Gents / Ladies | Various (series, weekends) |
| 8 series, 5 weekends | Larks / Ravens | Berkeley, BIDA, Circle Left, Form the Ocean, Hayward, JP, LCFD Dance Camp (both coasts) Sebastapol, South Bay, Village Contra, YDW |
| 1 series | Bands / Barearms | Rainbow Contra Dance of Western Mass, Queer Contra Chicago |
| 1 series | Jets / Rubies | Portland ME |
| 1 series | Leads / Follows | Brooklyn Contra |
The biggest change is that [EDIT: nearly] all the "Bands / Bares" dances have switched to "Larks / Ravens", but there are also a few dances (BIDA, Sebastapol, YDW) that have swiched from "Gents / Ladies".
Update 2017-10-20: I've edited the chart above after learning that Rainbow Contra Dance of Western Mass is still using "Bands / Barearms".
